sa-update not working when not on the internet is expected behavior.
Agreed, but sa-update leaves an empty rules directory that can break
spamd if it gets restarted after the empty dir has been created.
While it may seem an unlikely scenario, in real world it happened to
me at least 3 times in 2 months.
In 3.3.1 sa-update didn't leave the empty dir when it failed to download rules.
And I don't know if there was a reason that changed. 3.3.1 is not
exactly a very recent version with 3.3.2 replacing it in 2011.
Best I can suggest is open a bug in bugzilla, add an rmdir to your
update script, or disable the cron job since you have a machine not on
the internet.
